There has been an
abundance of speculation surrounding the beverage section of the cannabis/hemp
industry but that is coming to an end, as many companies reach distribution
deals to have their products on shelves and available online.

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) is looking at both
avenues, having announced that it has launched an updated e-commerce website
for its LALPINA CBD brand. The new website will be atwww.lalpinahydrocbd.com and will utilize GreenBox POS proprietary blockchain based payment process
technology, which will allow for uninterrupted e-commerce sales.

American Premium CEO,
Ryan Fishoff, commented, “I am happy to announce that LALPINA has a new
e-commerce website for its CBD beverage. The Company has been working on this
project for awhile; I feel that LALPINA has a website that is commiserate for
its stature in the industry. Having Greenbox’s blockchain payment processing
technology will give the Company stability on its online sales channel, which
will allow us to ramp up social media marketing and sales initiatives.”

This came after the company announced that its LALPINA CBD
will be sold in General Nutrition Center locations, one of the world’s largest
vendors of health and nutritional products, with over 4600 outlets in the US
and 1900 international stores.

Weekend Unlimited
Inc. (CSE: POT) (OTC: WKULF) recently announced that Verve Beverage
Company has scheduled production for its CHAMP Energy and Verve beverage lines.

"We specifically targeted this point in
time to launch our Full Spectrum Hemp products into the market as part of our
activation at the HEMP TODAY experience at SXSWTM this week,"
said Mr. Brad Robb, President of VBC.

"This represents a significant
achievement for the Company, launching our brands with a focus on revenue
generation. The VBC brand team is advancing their plan to reach market right on
our schedule, the responses to the product line from distributors has allowed
us to produce an aggressive first run to accelerate the build out and
recognition of VBC's product brands into the consumer marketplace," said
Weekend Unlimited President and CEO, Mr. Paul Chu.

“During Q1 of 2019, Management's priorities and main focus
were to secure major retail distribution and to drive sales through its
e-commerce and Amazon platforms. During the first quarter, Koios secured
supplier agreements with two of the largest retailers in the world and added an
additional 4,000 retail locations carrying its products across the United
States. Purchase orders from February 1, 2019 through March 13, 2019 total more
than CAD$734,876 excluding online revenue. Based on the success of sales
obtained from its current channels and conversations with its retail partners,
Management estimates that it will add an additional 2,500 retail locations
carrying its products across the United States in Q2 of 2019.”

Zenabis
Global Inc. (TSXV: ZENA) seems to be waiting until October
when Canadian legislation is expected to change to allow for edibles and
beverages. The company announced its beverage plans back in January
with the acquisition of 51% of Hillsboro Corp Inc. ("True Buch").

From the
news:

“True Buch is a kombucha company with expertise in the
creation of cultured tea beverages. True Buch cultured tea beverages are raw,
unpasteurized, gluten free and non-GMO, with over 11 distinct flavours. Zenabis
and True Buch intend to draw on each other's expertise to infuse cannabis into
True Buch beverages when permitted under applicable laws and regulations,
creating a cultured tea beverage CBD or THC product.”

With product sales now within reach, either online or in
store, investors will finally have a more realistic assessment of the beverage
sector within the cannabis industry. We can expect more and more eyes to be on
the Q3 and Q4 financials of multiple cannabis/hemp beverage companies as many
are expected to have live sales in the coming months.

Point Roberts WA,
Delta BC – March 18, 2018 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering
hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at how the craft beer
industry and the CBD sector are joining forces to bring CBD infused beer to
consumers.

New Frontier Data estimates that
overall domestic cannabis sales grew 6.7% in 2018, while alcohol sales grew at
5% year over year (source: bw166). It’s clear to see why the marrying of the
two sectors is underway.

Craft beer and
cannabis seem to be moving forward hand-in-hand as more and more cannabis
companies look for partnership agreements with public or private brewers to
bring CBD-infused beers to market. This has come in many forms including Province Brands’ beer brewed directly
from cannabis and hemp, or Michigan’s Founders Brewery which is working
with CBD oil in their beers.

In October 2018, Molson Coors Canada, the Canadian
business unit of Molson Coors Brewing Company and HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE:HEXO) announced the formation of their joint
venture, Truss, led by former Molson
Coors executive, Brett Vye, in the role of Chief Executive Officer.

Since this news however, Hexo has been quiet on its CBD
Beer venture and we will most likely have to wait until closer to October of
this year, when Canada is expected to legalize infused beverages and edibles,
to hear more news on this front.

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) may not be waiting until October
to have products hit shelves, as they recently announced an agreement with
Hanlons Brewery in England to produce beer infused with CBD using the Company’s
proprietary formulation. Testing will begin immediately on the combination of
the Company’s proprietary hydro-nano CBD formulation with Hanlon’s beer, with
commercial sales to be determined at a later date.

CEO of American Premium Water Corporation, Ryan Fishoff
commented, “I am excited to announce that the Company has entered to an
agreement with Hanlons brewery in the UK. This is a very exciting partnership
that provides numerous possibilities for monetization, and brand recognition on
the European continent. The liquor and beer industry has been very fascinated
with the introduction of CBD into the market, and this partnership affords us
the opportunity to step into the discussion with the larger players in the
market. We’re going to begin experimenting with the process of combining beer
and the CBD formulations immediately. The goal will be to have a product
available for commercial sale as soon as possible. I will keep shareholders
abreast when there are developments on bringing the product to market.”

According to Mordor Intelligence, the European beer market
is estimated to be around $185 Billion in size, which presents a huge
opportunity for HIPH as the Company prepares to enter into such a large market.

Sipp
Industries, Inc. (OTC: SIPC), a newcomer to the space and the
first publicly traded company in America whose primary focus is the production
and sales of hemp-infused beer is looking to the US, having announced that it has submitted a new
Cannabidiol (CBD) beer formula to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau
(TTB).

Sipp
Industries’ CBD-infused beer formula has been under development since 2017 when
the first test batch was produced and the Company submitted its final version
of this Hemp and CBD-infused craft beer recipe in February along with all of
the required regulatory documentation, including sourcing data and laboratory
testing.

Much
like Hexo and Molson, we are still awaiting news from Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), a global leader in cannabis
research, cultivation, production and distribution, and Anheuser-BuschInBev SA/NV on their infused beverage
program which was also announced late last year. That doesn’t mean the company
has been silent, as Tilray recently announced the closing of a definitive
agreement in which Tilray has acquired all of the issued and outstanding
securities of FHF Holdings Ltd. (“Manitoba Harvest”) for an aggregate maximum
purchase price of C$419 million.

By
leveraging Manitoba Harvest’s established distribution network, Tilray plans to
accelerate its expansion into US and Canadian markets, where legal, for CBD
products.

With so
many beer/CBD product developments in the works, the big question now is “who
will have their products ready for the next shift in legalization?” Bigger
producers like Canopy and Constellation or Hexo and Molson may have a
distribution edge but will their beers hold up against smaller craft brewers? We’ve
seen the ‘crafters’ take significant market share from large producers over the
past few decades, we’ll have to wait to see if they can do it again with a new
generation of brews.

Point Roberts WA,
Delta, BC – March 8, 2018 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering
hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at the flurry of new
distribution and marketing deals within the CBD sector, opening up product
availability to a growing consumer base.

Making headlines at
the beginning of the month, cannabis leader, Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC) and Sequential Brands Group, Inc. announced that Martha Stewart joined the
Company in an advisory role to assist with developing and positioning a broad
new line of product offerings across multiple categories.

“As soon as you hear
the name Martha, you know exactly who we’re talking about,” shared Canopy
Growth Chairman and co-CEO, Bruce Linton. “Martha is one of a kind and I am so
excited to be able to work alongside this icon to sharpen our CBD product
offerings across categories from human to animal.”

American Premium
Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) just announced that its LALPINA CBD
will be sold in General Nutrition Center locations. LALPINA CBD will be part of
the pilot program the brand participated in last year. LALPINA CBD will be
available for sale at two southern California locations; GNC Walnut, CA (located
at 20687 Amar Road) and GNC Rancho Cucamonga, located at 10768 Foothill Boulevard.

From the news:

“Getting placement
into GNC is part of the larger wholesale distribution strategy that the Company
is anticipating for 2019. The Company is actively working on adding other
distribution across big box, chain, grocery, and mom and pop retailers,
specifically in our target focus areas (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York,
Miami). In addition to beverages, the Company’s cosmetics brands (Vanexxe and
plant+body Essentials) have also generated significant interest from retailers.
With the Company’s existing retail channels from its Gents brand
(Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue), there is always the potential to cross
distribute, especially in the cosmetics category, which I believe has the
potential to equal the beverage market as far as CBD opportunity goes. There is
a lot of excitement in the market and I look forward to keeping shareholders
updated about the Company’s progress in exploiting these channels,” concluded Ryan
Fishoff, CEO American Premium Water Corporation.

Khiron Life Sciences
Corp. (TSXV: KHRN), (OTCQB: KHRNF), a vertically
integrated cannabis leader with core operations in Latin America, is also
looking to get its brand to consumers, having announced that the Company
will participate in Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, taking place March 14-17 in
Bologna, Italy. Recognized as the largest and most important event in the
beauty buyers' calendar, this event brings the Company's Kuida® cosmeceutical
portfolio to a global network of retail buyers and distributors.

Andres Galofre,
Co-founder and VP Business Development, Khiron Life Sciences Corp. states, "Our
participation in Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna marks an important milestone for
Khiron as we bring the Kuida® brand to the global market for the first time. As
well, we will be educating beauty buyers about cannabis legislation in their
jurisdiction as it applies to CBD-based cosmeceuticals, and increase awareness
of the market potential in this fast developing category."

Kuida®, the first
consumer brand for Khiron's wellness unit brings the benefits of cannabidiol
(CBD) to a comprehensive portfolio of skin and body care products for women.
Launched in Colombia in October 2018 through retail, wholesale and online
channels, Kuida® will now target the global skincare market which, according to
Euromonitor International, is expected to reach US$131 Billion in 2019.

Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV) (OTC: KBEVF) is ensuring more than just proper
distribution, having announced that the Company has increased its
production capacity by partnering with Full Metal Canning, located in Longmont,
CO, in addition to its current partnership with Golden Global Goods, the parent
company of Rocky Mountain Soda.

Forming these partnerships came as a result of the Company
securing purchase orders with two of the largest retailers in the world,
thereby increasing its retail footprint by 4,000 locations since February 2019.
Chris Miller, Founder and CEO of Koios further explains, "This allows us to
stay incredibly adept and flexible when producing our line of beverages.This advantage makes us especially unique in
the beverage space as we can produce on demand without investing large sums of
capital into excess inventory. This allows our team to increase its focus on
marketing and consumer awareness, which is pivotal in a brand's success.Furthermore, the relationship with Full Metal
Canning is a monumental first step towards investing in further infrastructure,
including our own, wholly-owned canning line."

There seems to be an unlimited variety of CBD product potential moving
into the future, but now is the time for early market movers to snap up proper
distribution channels before the potential global CBD rush begins.
